Behind its classic Victorian frontage, this is a Richmond home with a few surprises up its sleeve.
High ceilings, exposed brick, original fireplaces and a wonderfully individual layout give the interiors real personality, starting with one generous front living room with an open fireplace, and a ground-floor bedroom also complete with its own fireplace, and connecting to a mezzanine level above. The mezzanine creates a flexible retreat fitted with a built-in desk, skylights and space for an additional bed; ideal for working from home, guests or simply carving out a room that feels entirely your own.
Further along, a substantial dining room offers the kind of scale that makes long dinners and weekend gatherings feel right at home, while the separate kitchen has plenty of warmth and character with timber cabinetry, gas cooking, dishwasher and generous storage.
At the rear, a sizeable laundry, separate toilet, additional storage and rear laneway access keep the practical side of the home well covered.
Upstairs, the second bedroom feels like a private escape, complete with split-system air conditioning and its own separation from the main living level.
There is a lot here that cannot be summed up by a standard floorplan. The layered spaces, soaring ceilings, textural brickwork and clever mezzanine arrangement give the home a sense of individuality that is increasingly hard to find.
And the address is just as compelling. Church Street puts cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops and trams close at hand, with Swan Street and Bridge Road also within easy reach. Train stations, the Yarra River, riverside trails, the MCG and Melbourne's major sporting and entertainment precincts are all nearby, making this a home where weekends, workdays and nights out can happen with very little planning.
For professionals, downsizers and investors, it is a distinctly Richmond proposition: character-filled, flexible and superbly connected.
